The Deserted Baby.

The report in The STATESMAN Tuesday
of the inhuman desertion of an infant by
its mother, created quite breeze of COM
ment during the day, and speculation was
considerable as to who could have been SO
heartless. Mr.. Tulk, who was IN
the city yesterday, corrects The
STATEsMAN's report in one par
ticular. The founding was left in the
yard of Mr.. Boone Wilson, who lives just
across the road from Mr.. Tulk. Mr.. Lee
Sloss, Mr.. Wilson's brother-in-law, found
the waif, and both Mr.. Wilson and his
wife being absent from home, took it over
to Mr.. TuIk's house, where that gentle
mans mother took charge OF and cared
for it. Judge Breckenridge had
it brought TO the city yesterday,
and placed in the hands of a competent
nurse. It is white child, of the male
persuasion, finely formed, and, Judging
from its rough experience already, is
capable of standing good deal.

GOVERNMENT TESTS.
The Royal Baking Powder Declared
Superior to all others.

The fact that Royal Baking Powder is in all respects
the best baking powder offered the public has been
established beyond question.
Prof H. A. Mott, when employed by the U. S. Govern
ment analyze the various baking powders of the market
to determine which the best and most economical after
an extended investigation reported in favor of the Royal
and it was adopted for government use.
Prof. Mott has continued his examinations of baking
powders sold the present day, and ams it his
deliberate Judgment arrived at after most thorough research
and careful examination of the principal brands of the
market that the Royal undoubtedly the purest and most
reliable baking powder offered to the public Prof Mott in
his recent report, says:
"The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for
have found in many tests made both for that company
and the U. S. Government.
CT will go still further and state that because of the
facilities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure
cream tartar and for other dependent upon the
proper proportions of the same and the method of its
preparation the Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the
purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the
public. DIR. HENRY A. MOTT, PH.D"

DEPRAVITY.
A Heartless Mothers Work So A
Newborn Babe Found in a
Farmers Yard.

1t is not often that newspapers have to
record such a case as is now present ed,
and every good man and woman in the
land will pray that another such case
will never be presented. Mr.. John Tulk
is we'll to do farmer, who lives FIVE or six
miles from the city. Saturday last he and
his family went to neighbors to spend the
night, and brother in law, young man,
also went off for the night. Sunday morn
ing early Mr.. Tulk and his family returned
home, and owing to the heat remained in
doors most OF the forenoon. About II
o'clock the young man returned, put his
horse in the stab Q and started to the house.
On the way he heard whining in the back
yard, which he took to be that of puppy,
and, going to where the noise came from, he
found an ordinary box, about the size
of candle box, in an off place in the yard
Looking into it, he found new born
baby, unwashed, and with no covering
upon it save a piece of cloth wrapped
around it. The infant was lying in the
broiling sun, and, young as 1t seemed TO
be, had sought the law of self-preserva-
tion by tuckiDg its head down to the side
of the box. The young man rushed to
the house, told the family of his discovery,
and the little one was at once taken in and
cared for. 1t did not appear to be over
two days old, and was finely formed. Its
long siege under the broiing sun rays had
we'll nigh exhausted it, and good work was
necessary for its resuscitation, but
this was given, and Sun
day afternoon, WHEN the information
was brought in town, the founding was
all right and eagerly interviewing milk
feed.
The depravity of this case surpasses
comprehension, the child having, appar-
emily, never been washed, blood stains
being upon its body when found. 1t is
said that neighbor, living short dis
lance away, says he saw four women go to
the house about dusk Sunday evening
Two of them stopped near the barn and
the other two went beyond his sight, but
after time returned and the four then
walked away. As Mr.. TUX has as much
family as he cares to raise, he waits Judge
Breckenridge to tell him what to do with
the little one. The county will doubtless
have to bear the burden, unless the officers
can find the heartless mother, woo has
thus thrown away her offspring.

A Fuss at the ASYLUM.

George Ellis, lately a nurse at the
insane asylum, made complaint before
Justice Tegener against DR.. Dorset, the
superintendent, for disturbing the peace
and on Monday, the case being tried, DR..
Dorset was fined SIS and costa. Ellis
states that on Saturday evening he gave
notice that he would quit,at the same time
demanding hispay and certain testimonials
that we're in the hands of the asylum
authorities. Dorset, he says, threw a
spittuon at him, and afterwards endeav-
ored to throw lead paper weight at him.
but was prevented by bystanders. Upon
this he swore out the complaint.
The STATESMAN telephoned to DIR. Dor
sett last night asking him to give his
version of the affair, but he replied that
he had no statement to make, except
through his attorneys.

Rocks. and Not Eggs.

Major Joe Fl. Stewart spoke during last
week at Kyle, San Marcos, Lockhart and
other points below here, against the pro-
hibition amendment. At Lockhart, on
last Friday night, he was greeted by a
fair audience of ladies and gentlemen, at
the court house, and after the speaking
had progressed about half hour, rocks
were thrown through the windows, break
ing one or more glasses, and alarming
some of the ladies.
The speaker stopped, and calmly sug-
gested to the sheriff, who happened to be
present with his family, the propriety of
going down stairs and requesting the
miscreants to use ripe eggs rather than
rocks, as there was danger from the one
and only bad odor from the other. The
sheriff went in pursuit of the guilty par
ties, the audience soon quieted down, and
the speaker continued his address. 1t
was reported on the next morning that
one or more of the guilty parties had
been arrested.

An Austin Girl.

The following from the Jackson (Miss.)
Clarion will interest many friends of the
young lady mentioned:
''Miss Bonnie Lee Johns, of Austin,
Texas NOW visiting Jackson), has in her
possession Confederate flag belonging
to the Ninth Mississippi regiment, cap
tured at the battle of Shiloh. Mrs. Terrell,
from Boston, visited Jackson while Ames
was governor. He presented RS. Terrell
with this flag at that time. Recently she
met with Mrs. Smith, of Boston, an old
friend of Mrs. Johns, and hearing that
Miss Johns was native of Mississippi,
though now a resident of Texas, thought
this flag would be of some interest to her
and would send it if she desired it. Since
Miss Johns arrived in jackson she has
received the flag, and will be happy to
return it to any responsible members Of
said regiment"

Outrageous.

On Sunday last number of Italians
went over TO Barton springs on picnic,
and, while there, became obstreperously
drunk and noisy. Several gentlemen with
their families were picnicing on the
grounds, and the outrageous conduct of
the drunken Italians forced them TO
leave. Captain Walsh ordered the
mob away, when they refused to 60, one
of them claiming that man couldn't
order anyone off his land unless it was en-
closed. Finally the conduct of the ruff
fans became 80 unboarable that an officer
was sent for, and six of the gang, all
that could be caught, we're arrested. They
were tried before Justice Calhoun yester-
day and fined, as will be shown by the court
report this morning.

George Boyce was convicted in Milan
county in eighteen cases for forging the
name of one man. 1t appears that he had
worked for the party and claimed money
due him, and to get it, signed his name to

Gghteen cases amounting to but little
more than $50. The prosecuting attorney
had him indicted in each of the cases, and
convicted him, tire aggregate amount of
punishment reaching thirty-six years.
Governor Ross yesterday committed the
punishment to two years and a half,
thinking that sufficient punishment for
the offense.

Suicide of Two Lads.

IF arts dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph. .
On Monday last two lads, each four
teen years of age, committed suicide In
the neighborhood of Vienna by blowing
their brains out with revolver. Their
bodies were found in vineyard, each
of them holding a revolver in his right
hand. One of the Ill fated boys was
not quite dead. but he expired soon
after he was found. Each of them had
a note in his pocket. One ran thus !:
"My name is Franz Geist / am four
teen years of age; my father is
grocer. Dear parents, forgive me
MY faults and my sins. l can
not help it. | must die" The
note found on the other boy was as fol-
lows: my name is Franz Helmle |
am fourteen years old, aud was COM
positor's apprentice in the AuJustiner
Sfrasse. / have shot myself and Franz
also, because ] led him astray." This
double suicide of two mere children
has caused most painful impression
in Vienna. The lad Geist seems to
have played truant from school for u
whole year without his parents finding
it out. Both he and his companion
had been reading unwholesome litera-
ture, which is supposed to have worked
upon their Imagination. They had
neither Of them the slightest cause for
worry or complaint, and were well
treated at home. Curiously enough,
short time ago, playmate of theirs also
committed suicide by throwing himself
from the tower of st. Augustine's
church.

The will of the late Emmanuel So
lari. the restaurdteur OF University
Place, was offered for probate yester-
day. Mr.. Solari died in California last
December. and his body was sent tothe
home of his boyhood in Switzerland.
BY his will the bulk of the property is
left TO bis brother, Joseph Solar, now
in charge of the restaurant. The will
is dated June IL, 1885. The testator
makes these requests
"To his brother, Gioachimo OF
Faido, canton OF Ticino, Switzerland,
$4,000; to his brother, Paolo OF Milan,
10000; to his sister, Josephine, wife
of Antonio Barioni OF Faido, $40, 600
free from the control of her husband
TO the children of his deceased sister,
Antonio Cattaneo of Faido, $1,000 in
equal shares !; to Emil Victor Regamery
of Lausanne, $1,000; to Lucie Angus
tine Regamery, $1,000; to Joseph
SOLAR, his brother, 10000 in trust for
his mother, Josephine, ut her death to
revert to Joseph [she died in 1881 to
his brother, Gioachimo Solari, all his

Fmmanuele Solari left his home in
1850 and went to Milan to learn car

manuele went to Lyons, where he
scrubbed the tables and floor in restau-
rant. Ry easy stages he graduated into
n iull-blown French waiter, and moved
on 10 Paris, where he served in cafe.
In 1856 he entered Delmonico's, in
Beaver street, as a waiter. He wo, zed
there four years, and in 1860 he
found that tips and close saving
had given him enough to buy
half interest in Il. Il. Reilly's
restaurant at Al University Place. In
1853 he bought Reilly out, and subse-
quently he bought the building, and
that is included in his estate. His
brother came ont in 1854 and worked
as waiter for him. Emmanuel mar
ried bright young Swiss girl and took
her to Europe in 1867 to see his mother,
for whom ana his sisters he had pro-
vided beautiful home in Faido. His
wife died several years ago and was
taken to Faido for burial.

Government has considered the ques-

CINCINNATI, April 12.-Dr. McGlynn
arrived this morning. Some of his
friends desired to introduce him TO
the representative businessmen OF the
Chamber of Commerce, and 10 that end
asked Major John Byme, of the Chesa-
poake and Ohio road, to make the in
PRODUCTION. Major Byrne declined,
saying that as q Catholic, loyal to the
precepts and authority of his Church,
he had no sympathy with McGlynn's
position, and that as good citizen he
could not in any sense recognize the
false theories which the Doctor was at
tempting to propagate. AS member
of the Chamber of Commerce the same
views compelled him to decline. Others
were appealed to who took the came
position, and thus DIR. McGlynn was
not visitor ON Change.
Tonight Dir. McGlynn delivered his
lecture" Cross of the New Crusade -
at Music Hall The lecture was under
the management OF the Henry George
Club. On the platform we're members
of that club, as well as prominentmem-
bers of the Labor party. There were
no Catholic clergymen on the stage and
none apparent in the audience. DIR.
McGlynn introduced a pass-ge re-
ferring in caustic terms to the censIre
cast upon him by the Bishop Of Ohio,
meaning Archbishop Elder, OF Cincin-
uati. to whom he attributed the fret
complaints against him at Rome.
